Sun sets over graduates’ time at New College

On her sleeves, Amy Bernard wore her senior thesis. Literally.
She loves that it’s a New College of Florida tradition to curb the usual cap-and-gown garb for something more personal during commencement ceremonies, so she couldn’t think of anything better to wear than her greatest accomplishment.
Clad in the set of armor cleverly crafted in geometric spikes, Bernard addressed her 170 peers and their families as the sun set Friday evening, leaving a pink hue over the bay-side campus.
